LE ROUGE COLLECTION N°1

October 2, 2016November 11, 2016

Chanel Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer Lucia Pica expresses the power of red in her debut collection for face, eyes, lips and cheeks through the depth of a nail polish, the frankness of a lipstick and the intensity of an eyeshadow.
You can see that inspiration comes from various shades of red – from vermilion to the crimson, with the additions of pink, brown and beige.
At first glance, the excess of red can be a bit overwhelming but it’s not about the full makeup. We’re all accustomed to red on lips but Lucia shows evidence that we should not limit ourselved only to the lipstick. It’s amazing how this color can bring out the insensitivity and depth of green iris. This is why my favorite product is are matte eye shadow palette in which even beiges contain small amounts of red pigment. I have to admit that this color tends to emphasize the imperfections of the skin, so you have to be careful.
Chanel made it easy to interpret red in its own way given the legacy of the fashion house and the Italian inspiration of Lucia Pica. As for me, this cooperation started great, I can’t wait for next collections.
